“Captain, a tsunami is coming from the port bow!” alarmed the crewman, hanging from the crows nest.
“All men below deck!” The Japanese captain screeched out the order. Sobbing, the crewman yelled out a prayer in Japanese, knowing that he was trapped on the wildly swaying mast. His words were drowned out by the crashing of the wave. Into the tsunami the ship was swallowed as the towering green monster tore the ship apart. Weeks later, American whalers came upon a piece of mast. Hanging limply to one side was a survivor. |
